Wavelet-based illumination normalization for face recognition
The appearance of a face image is severely affected by illumination conditions that hinder the automatic face recognition process. To recognize faces under varying illuminations, ...

Illumination Normalization Using Logarithm Transforms for Face Authentication
Abstract. In this paper we propose an algorithm that can easily be implemented on small form factor devices to perform illumination normalization in face images captured under vari...
